WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Illustrious Hartman Molavi Extra Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Following this, the wine is aged on its lees for an extended period of four to five years. This extended aging contributes to the development of complex aromas and a refined texture. Manousakis Winery also adheres to organic viticulture practices.
